RE: [ST] ST- Breaks[sic]

  Fast enough to get look like I had just gotten back from an enduro ride.
I would have thought the bike would be clean considering the "road" had 6
different stream crossings.  For those in the Va Blue Ridge area, this
"road" parallels rt. 33 to the north where Rt. 33 crossed the VA/WV line.
If you don't mind wet feet, it rewards with some wonderful scenery.

  I agree about the back brake doing little, but what I was trying to say
was the rider should be the one who decides on how little or how much.  As
you could guess I am not a fan of the linked brake systems and the like.  I
do like automatic transmissions (if they are good), fuel injection (no
manual choke) and things that make life easier, but I like to be in full
control of the anchors.

Of course they are.

How fast were you going on that gravel road?
